Geoff, I'm listening for responses to your request. If you get a description of Preview commands Please keep them on list as I've been needing to master this application.
Sorry I don't have the answers just a shared need for the information. One tip though, I believe I've read discussion of a App called Skim that works well with voice Over. I figured I would start with Preview as normally my needs are pretty basic.
